Workplace and employee relations

Unfair Dismissal vs General Protections

Do you need help with understanding workplace relations. Many people who contact our company regarding workplace relations are concerned about their work environment. Often most are seeking advice in the following areas:

  • Unfair dismissal
  • Discrimination
  • Unlawful dismissal
  • Harassment, bullying
  • Conditions and award rates – We recommend contacting the Workplace Ombudsman on 13 13 94 in these instances.
  • Workplace disputes and how the workplace relations act and other legislation supports their rights to resolve a dispute. 

For workplace relations inquiries that only concern wages, rates, or money owing, the Federal Workplace Ombudsman’s Office can be reached at 131394.

Workplace Relations Advice for Employees

We’re happy to assist you in all areas of workplace relationships advice. Please refer to the different pages of our website for more information regarding unfair dismissal, discrimination, and general protections. We believe every individual’s workplace relations situation is unique. Therefore, we insist that you do not resign until we have spoken to you.

Employees may struggle to find the right solution to complex situations. However, there are rules and regulations that will help you manage and run your workplace relations claim or discrimination case. The Fair Work Australia (FWA), for example, has a strict 21-day deadline to file an unfair dismissal case. Most people don’t realise this. To be eligible to file a discrimination claim, the victim must have suffered discrimination within the past 12 months. However, this will depend on how the state views and treats the matter if it is dealt with at a state level. However, you may have grounds to lodge a General Protections application through Fair Work.

Harassment & Workplace Relations

Have you been a victim of harassment outside of the workplace? Harassment outside of work is a minefield. How do you deal with harassment outside of work hours? What about personal emails? Does the Employer have the right? To email your personal email or contact you through Facebook? Perhaps your employer harasses you because you are ill and off sick from work again. What should I do if my boss demands that I remove my eyebrow ring? These are all very common questions when employees feel harassed at work. We can help you determine whether you have been a victim of workplace harassment and determine the options available.

Rules and Practices of Fair Work Australia and Workplace Relations

The rules and practices of Fair Work Australia (FWA), workplace relations, and workplace policies are always changing. With the economic downturn and likes of pandemics, it is not surprising that some employers are taking advantage. Here are some examples:

  • The Employer wants me to reduce my hours.
  • After five years of service, my employer wants to make me a casual worker.
  • The manager makes comments about me and wants me to go. I can accept this, but I still need the job.
  • Willing to allow me to drive my car for business purposes

There are many options. Our advice is to be well-informed.

Victorian Industrial Relations Commission

What is the Industrial Relations Victoria (IRV)? The  Industrial Relations Victoria (IVR) is a Government agency that supports, oversees, and provides advice around enterprise bargaining across the Victorian public sector. It was the Industrial Relations Reform Act 1993 that enabled workplace disputes to be settled by enterprise bargaining between employers and unions to support workplace disputes. In 2009 Fair Work was formed to replace the Australian Industrial Relations Commission, and it was at this time that the Australian states handed industrial relations powers to the Australian Government. However, Industrial Relations Victoria still works towards achieving a positive working environment for all Victorians.
